Personal pictures of some of the BEAUTIFULLY preserved artwork in Pompeii

I took all of these on a study abroad trip that I had the great fortune of being able to go on at the beginning of this year :)

I haven’t been able to STOP thinking about them, so here ya go🤲🏼

i may, or may not, have gotten this one piece of wall art (the fig tree & snake) tattooed on my body…

these incredibly detailed wall pieces are a part of the Dionysus Mystery Cult walls and had our whole group stopped for a GOOD 20-30 min…

Esoteric arts: Archaeologists at Pompeii in Italy have found what they believe is a female sorcerer’s box of objects. The magnificent little miniature amulets, gems, and other items were found in the remains of a wooden box at Casa del Giardino, and were most likely used for personal ornamentation or protection from evil forces and bad luck. Among the objects found were crystals, buttons made of bones, phallic amulets, and a glass bead engraved with the head of Dionysus.
